When someone says “what is so cool about Instagram anyways, you’re just ruining the photos!?” I always reply that it allows you to upload tiny bits of your day, whether it is in the moment or a memory, and give it a nice look with a filter. THIS without having to load it over to your laptop or something to edit it.The best part is that it allows everyone to capture and save the moment without needing to have photography skills. (And it gives a new way of being creative on!) How can you ruin a crappy mobile photo anyways? It’s a simple and cute way of mini blogging, if you don’t like it, get over it and move on.

Note: this is not a rant towards anyone. I just believe that if you don’t like something, don’t waste energy on hating it.

So, with that said, here's my first 8th days of december in photos :)

1. It is december and that means time for some decoration!
2. Our lovely christmas tree :D

3. Work in progress, rendering :)
4. How I stay warm when using shorts: wearing wool!

5. One day I over slept, that's when I prioritize coffee and make-up.
6. Dark tips and burgundy shirt <3

7. Another work in progress picture~
8. The best (and fashionable) hat for cold days :)

9. Wonder why it took me weeks to find out that this shirt is perfect with my red blazer!
10. Another short shorts day, I have many of those.

11. Tuesdays outfit one day with faux fur hat, burgundy flannel shirt and denim shorts.
12. Saying good night to the blurry world one night...

I decided to take the saturday of and do some christmas gift shopping. I have a few presents that needs to be sent to Norway pretty quickly so it will reach their owners in time for christmas. So I went out the door…and something felt wrong.

No snow, no cold, no frost... and loads of sun.

Still, there was a bunch of people doing their christmas shopping today.

At least it seemed like it. It was pretty chaotic in the centre. It might have been because it was saturday morning. The picture below doesn’t do the chaos any justice. The queue went far from the counters, curling around the accessorize selves. Which also was the place most people found interesting. So much prettiness!

It is also the season for high-heeled party shoes, or christmas shoes. Depends how you look at it. As always I have to small and petite feet to fit any of these. Actually I thought going abroad to the UK would make it easier for me and my shoe size issue, but no. They got size 3 which is size 36. Then some internet stores got size 2 which is size 34….

where did size 2.5/35 disappear to?

Anyways, I got the christmas gift shopped and packed. They are ready to be sent to Norway tomorrow. So my main goal was achieved.

Uni life just keep getting busier and busier, today its two weeks before hand in and I find myself feeling a little bit robotic. I just work, eat, sleep. Then get up to work some more. Still, somewhere inside that robotic girl there is passion. Maybe a bit frustration, but definitely lots of real passion.

Because why else would I accept drowning in this work?

But due to a lot of work and little time to look around and appreciate, it is hard to find that Christmas feeling and atmosphere. So I insisted on buying a pre-lit christmas tree rising 90 cm over the ground. I really insisted. And I got my wish and some red christmas bulbs and golden glitter! It has its charm where its standing in the living room greeting me good morning every morning when I eat my breakfast. Love it!

One day I realized that I was just putting on clothes in the morning without no proper thoughts of composing a proper outfit, and that I hated it. I absolutely felt horrified, because it didn’t sound like me at all. And after talking about gyaru fashion with the norwegian j-fashion community I figured that I would start picking up inspiration from japanese fashion magazines again.

And so I did, starting with Scawaii december edition, to find a bunch of outfits that fits what I want to wear in december. Over sized knits, fake leather pants, tops with leather patches, blazers, high-waisted shorts, over knees, dark colors and cool hats.

Well, to be precisely: Last week in Trondheim is super busy, I’m traveling home in 4 days and got a bunch of stuff I need to do. I need to study for the last test before holiday starts, which is on Thursday. Then I have a few christmas gifts to make before I leave, and others I need to buy.

So much to do, and so little time!

Look at that list at the back of my hand.

It says I have to buy christmas cards and do my science reports. Since I’ve been laptop free, I’ve also haven’t managed to write and hand them in. I had planned to work out tomorrow, but I don’t think I have time!

Still, December and Christmas is a lovely time~

Bought a dress for Christmas Eve, but I'm not showing it before then;)
